Sherman Speaks on Barn Raising

TODAY AT ROTARY our newest member Tyler Hoskings was inducted by Pdt. Terance White alongside his sponsor Nick Lang, bringing SGR’s current total membership to 72.  Tyler, a civic engineer (with Jones and DeMille) by profession, has a classification of Civil Engineering      and is certain to be a great asset to our club.

Motivational speaker Jeffrey T. Sherman shared his wit and wisdom in helping club members understand their positive traits and talents which can move them forward in life, including Character, Opportunities, Relationships and Education (CORE).  

“I strongly advocate for leaders to draw upon the excellence of those around them to create a cause.  Find the unknown aspirations, the creativity and the life within your company.  Foster a culture of collaboration and thought.  Come together as a company and 'raise a barn.'  People will rally around something in which they believe.”

Sherman also encouraged “brave leaders” to promote from within, learn to listen, provide recognition rather than to seek it, conquer yourself – not to the point of perfection, but to the point of compassion, find out what others aspire to do with their lives and earnestly motivate your team members to accomplish worthy tasks.
